 Magnify God

 Magnify God


By Prince Eudes 


ACTS 10:46a NKJ 46 For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.


PSALM 34:3 NKJ 3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.


In the New Testament, the word translated "magnify" is the Greek word "megaluno." It means to make great or enlarge.


We certainly cannot make God any greater, but we can perceive Him as greater in our lives. In other words, what we think of God can be enlarged.


How can we do this?


What you focus your attention on will seem bigger, because you are choosing to let it occupy your time and thinking.


Very small objects can block very large ones. A small coin in front of your eye can block the sun from view. Yet the sun is infinitely larger than the coin. It's the placement in your life that determines how big things seem to you.


An airplane in the sky can look very small, though in reality it is huge. That is only because you are far away from it.


When Scripture talks of magnifying God, we assume it meant they were praising God and talking of His greatness and goodness.


Does God seem big and capable in your thinking? If not, then magnify Him!


Do the problems you face seem like giants? Then remove your attention and focus from the problems -- de-magnify them -- and focus on the Lord. To shrink the problem, magnify the solution.


The more you think about a problem you are facing, the larger it can seem. The more you think about God, what He has created, and all He has done, the smaller the problem will look compared to God.


God IS greater than any problem or any situation you face. You just need to realize it and quit letting the problem be your focus.


Praise God and magnify Him!


SAY THIS: I will magnify God in my life.

Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith

  Persevere in Passing Down Your Faith MESSAGE FROM PRINCE EUDES  Our efforts may at times look like failures, but that doesn’t mean God has stopped working through us to achieve His purposes. November 11, 2023 James 1:2-4 Is there someone with whom you’ve consistently but unsuccessfully tried to share Jesus? It can be disheartening, but God’s Word encourages us to not grow weary of doing good ( 2 Thess. 3:13 ). That’s the third way to pass along your faith: perseverance. Yesterday we read about how to tell loved ones about Jesus through our actions, but doing something once or even a few times isn’t enough. There must be consistency. Does what you believe have merit in small situations as well as in major ones? Do you still trust God in those times when circumstances look impossible? How do you react when things don’t go your way? What do you do when life gets tough? Do you keep loving others no matter what? Don’t be discouraged or feel guilty when you fall short. We all are ...

Lord, Teach Us to Pray

 Lord, Teach Us to Pray Keep talking to the Lord—He always welcomes you, just as you are. November 12, 2023 Matthew 9:35-38 When it comes to prayer, there are two common pitfalls to be aware of. First, when it’s unclear what to pray, some people choose not to pray at all. And second, many believers settle into a lifeless form of praying that leaves them feeling hollow and disconnected from God. Both situations lead to discontentment and frustration. As Christians, we know that we should pray, even if doing so seems daunting. But far more than any sense of obligation we may feel, it’s wise to recognize that God intended prayer as a blessing for His children: Communing with Him is a fundamental way of experiencing His fullness. We have much to gain by praying—including peace, comfort, wisdom, and God’s very presence. So it would be tragic to give up on trying. And remember, when we communicate with God, there’s no measuring stick or scorecard. A fumbling yet heartfelt attem...

To See the Glory of God’s Purposes

 To See the Glory of God’s Purposes The light of Christ provides hope, love, and power to overcome any darkness. January 2, 2024 Ephesians 1:18-19 If you’ve ever stumbled through your house in the dark, then you know that even perfect vision is useless without light. But flip a switch, and everything suddenly becomes much clearer. That’s what Paul’s getting at when he prays “that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened” (Eph. 1:18). It’s not a prayer for some kind of spiritual X-ray vision; rather, he’s asking that God enable the Ephesians to view everything they experience in the best light of all—His light. What did they need to see? The scope and richness of salvation in Christ. First, it’s grounded in hope, something the Ephesians didn’t have before their encounter with Jesus. They’d been outside God’s kingdom, but as a result of His calling, they became His people. That reality transformed not only their future but also their present. Now, as God’s treasured people, they wer...
